DEPRESİF HASTALARIN İLAÇ TEDAVİSİNE UYUMLARI VE DESTEKLEYİCİ HEMŞİRELİK UYGULAMALARININ UYUM DÜZEYİNE ETKİSİ

Amaç: Araştırma ilaç tedavisi önerilen depresif hastaların tedavilerine uyumlarını, uyumsuzluk nedenlerini ve ev ziyaretleri ile yapılan destekleyici hemşirelik uygulamalarının hastaların ilaç tedavilerine uyumları dolayısıyla yetiyitimlerine ve semptomlara etkisini belirlemek amacı ile deneysel olarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yöntem: Araştırma örneklemine 41 deney, 42 kontrol olmak üzere toplam 83 hasta alınmıştır. Veriler, hastaların tümü ile poliklinik görüşmesi yapılarak, deney grubu hastalarına tekrarlı ev ziyaretleri (3 kez) ve tüm hastalara tedavilerinin başlangıcından 3 ay sonra ev ziyareti yapılarak Kısa Yetiyitimi Anketi yanı sıra dört soru formunun hastalarla yüz yüze görüşme tekniği kullanılarak doldurulması ile toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Üç ay sonunda; kontrollerine düzenli olarak gidenler kontrol grubunda % 24, deney grubunda % 73'dür. İlaçlarına uyumlu olan hastaların oranı kontrol grubunda % 24, deney grubunda % 88'dir. Deney grubunda ilacını bırakan hasta sayısı sadece beş olup kontrol grubunda ilaç bırakma nedenlerinden birinci sırayı % 42 ile bilgi eksikliği, ikinci sırayı % 39 ile ilaç yan etkileri almıştır. Yetiyitiminde her iki grupta da azalma gözlenirken, 3 aylık dönem sonunda deney grubu ile kontrol grubu arasında yetiyitimi puan ortalamaları yönünden fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmuştur.
